Angry I can't believe this is happening....UPDATE:(((((

I just arrived to GC this early afternoon (2nd visit trip). The foster family and facilitator were supposed to be here at 5 p.m. with my baby. I am not 100% sure,but I think our FF is a cab driver, so apparantly they drove in a taxi and I think it's theirs. It was already almost 30 minutes past 5 when the facilitator called me and said, that police stopped them and wanted to see the taxi and car papers and that they will be little late. Another 45 minutes and he calls again, saying, that now they want to see the adoption papers for the baby in the taxi (OUR baby!!!!!). So they were showed whatever papers the FF had on her and they wanted to see all the legal adoption papers. So they called the lawyer and he is getting that to them. I don't know if they are at the police station or on the street or where. Facilitator says not to worry, that if police sees a baby in a taxi, they always check the papers. In light of what happened with the papers police "wanted to see" - and then took away - at Casa Quivira, I am about to hang myself here. How much more of this I can take I don't know. I feel like I am being punished for something.

Oh no. Please try to be calm. We know that when he is in your arms, you will feel so much better.

I am so sorry you are going through this.

When he gets there, try to take a minute to let us know that everything is ok.

Sending you hugs.

Oh Jamila, I can only imagine how sick with worry you must be. I am praying that this is just a short delay, and that you'll be holding your baby in a few minutes. Try to breathe, and know that we're all sending you positive thoughts.

I just talked with the facilitator. He said they took FF and the baby with another woman who works with the facilitator to the police station. The police wants to see more documents. The facilitator is working with the lawyer on it. He said I will see them tomorrow. I think I will never see my baby again.
